Cignetti spent the last two seasons as the quarterbacks coach for the Giants and under Ben McAdoo and Steve Spagnuolo. Before then, he was the quarterbacks coach and later the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams from 2012-2015.

Cignetti has familiarity with Packers head coach Mike McCarthy from the time they were both assistant coaches on the New Orleans Saints. Cignetti was the quarterbacks coach from 2000-2001 when McCarthy was the offensive coordinator under then-head coach Jim Haslett.

Cignetti is now the second assistant coach from the Giants’ coaching staff to take a job elsewhere in the NFL. Former offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan was recently hired as the quarterbacks coach for the Denver Broncos.

Denver also reportedly wanted to interview McAdoo for the same position, but the job ultimately ended up going to Sullivan.
